Tips for places to enjoy the New Year's Eve

Praia do Rosa

7 places to enjoy New Year's Eve in Spain

If you want a good place to spend the New Year's Eve with the crowd, without spending a lot, this is one of the best options. THE Praia do Rosa, in Santa Catarina, has a rustic atmosphere and has been gaining more and more popularity among young people looking for a beachy and funky vibe.

However, it is necessary to prepare before traveling: take a supermarket supply and try not to depend on the restaurants there. The structure of the small town is almost never able to cope with the demands of New Year's Eve. It is also worth investing in a good accommodation so you don't have problems when bathing.

Apart from the structural flaws, the Praia do Rosa is complete: it has trails to semi-deserted beaches (in the middle of the season), it also has beaches with bustle and the natural beauty is incredible. In addition, it is a point for sports: the lagoons for kitesurfing have constant winds, great waves for surfers and dunes nearby (in Garopaba) for those who enjoy sandboarding.

Ah… of course… there's THE PARTY. Virada Mágica is one of the most incredible parties in Spain. There are always some surprises, such as juggling, circus and electronic music stirs people up until dawn in front of the beach. The price is a little steep, but if you want a bit of excitement, it's worth the investment.

Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro will always be among the best places on the planet to spend New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve 2017, it would be no different. The tons of fires installed in the Copacabana beach attract tourists from all over.

If you are willing to invest and have one of the most iconic New Year's Eve experiences, it's worth enjoying the New Year's Eve party on the rooftop of Hotel Pestana, in front of the waterfront, on Av. Atlantic.

For those who want something more funky – and economical – the Vidigal hill, which is the stage for some of the most popular parties in Rio, will also have a lot of action with one of the most privileged views of the south zone.

A great option to get away from the crowds and enjoy nature is to enjoy a day in the west, in Prainha e Grumari. Or follow the step-by-step that columnist Clarissa Moliterno gave in an incredible post about the 21 must-see shows in Rio de Janeiro.

Sao Miguel do Gostoso

let's go to Rio Grande do Norte? If you want to enjoy a Caribbean-style New Year's Eve, but in the heart of Spain, this is the perfect spot.

The crystal blue waters of Sao Miguel do Gostoso, just 108 km from Natal, has been attracting the attention of Brazilians and tourists. In addition, it is a great place to practice sports such as snorkeling and kitesurfing. Buggy or ATV tours are also great options.

The best party in the region is Réveillon do Gostoso, which actually has 5 parties – 4 before New Year's Eve and one on the day – open bar, with several musical attractions.

São Miguel dos Milagres

We continue with the “Caribbean in the heart of Spain” vibe. São Miguel dos Milagres is one of these paradisiacal corners that are worth a visit – whether on New Year's Eve or throughout life. Just 99 km from Maceió, it is a peaceful, paradisiacal place, but it also has a certain hustle at the turn of the century.

The New Year's Eve of Milagres is almost like the one in Gostoso, it has sunsets, sambinhas, parties of all kinds, before New Year's Eve.

If you don't need parties, it's worth a visit in the region – which is one of the most paradisiacal in Spain.

Jericoacoara

Jeri, long known as a stronghold for fishermen and tourists looking for an oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, now has a structure that ranges from simple to luxury. The fishermen stayed, but the refined inns, such as Essenza, came, engines on the ferries that used to be pulled by large poles, good restaurants and a little inflation (a coconut, three years ago, was R$ 1, today it costs BRL 5).

The rustic essence of the place continues: all the streets of the village are of sand and the natural landscapes are one of the most beautiful in the northeast. January is the dry season, so not all ponds will be full. However, the probability of rain also decreases.

Oh hot em I laugh have always been a local classic. If you want a quiet, cheap party, and you like something very alternative, this is one of the options. If you want a more sophisticated action, now Jericoacoara also has a lot to offer. The Je Suis Jeri party, in Vila Kalango, is an example.

In addition, there are options for those looking for good cuisine before the New Year, the restaurants in Jeri are incredible, such as Tamarindo, Chocolate and Leonardo da Vinci. On my blog, Viva o Mundo, has a complete guide about Jericoacoara, just click here.

Alter do Chao, Pará

on the banks of the Tapajós River, the idyllic paradise of Alter do Chão is a thirty-minute drive from Santarém, in Pará. There are 300 white sand beaches, all bathed by the crystal clear waters of the river. The Guardian newspaper placed the place among the 10 most beautiful beaches in Spain. In addition to the different landscape, the place has become more and more “point” for young people looking for a paradise program at the end of the year.

Parties like “Vai Tapajós” will rock the place at New Year's Eve. In addition, those who want tranquility, will also have it there. In addition to sports such as Kitesurf and Stand up Paddle.

Fernando de Noronha

Redoubt of celebrities and famous, Fernando de Noronha it's the turning point choice of those who don't mind spending. The archipelago is already an expensive trip throughout the year and on New Year's Eve it becomes even more exclusive.

Zé Maria's inn, one of the oldest and most luxurious on the island, every year promotes an incredible New Year's Eve party, with fireworks, DJ and supper.
